| Description: |
Father Christopher O'Donnell takes up a theme proposed in current theology especially by Karl Rahner and Hans Urs von Balthasar, namely, the important contribution to theology offered by spirituality, and especially by the lives and writings of the saints. This book examines what Therese may have to offer for a contemporary theology of the Church.
In a Church which is often negatively perceived, St Therese's self-identity as 'love in the heart of the Church' can be a focus for a renewed ecclesiology. After surveying the many faces of the saint in this century in a centenary overview, Father O'Donnell examines various intuitions of St Therese such as the Communion of Saints, charisms, practical charity, intercession, suffering, missions, priests, faith, purgatory, martyrdom, the saints and Mary.
Fr O'Donnell suggests that the development by St Therese of these and other topics is especially significant today for a renewed and vital vision of the Church. |
